Markets Watch: Tariffs Spark Gains for Metal Manufacturers

US stocks rose on Monday, February 10, driven by gains in metal manufacturers ahead of President Donald Trump’s announcement of additional steel and aluminum tariffs. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, with the Dow up 0.4% and the Nasdaq closing 1.0% higher.

Super Micro Computer shares surged 17.6%, driven by anticipation of a business update on Tuesday, which could shed light on the company’s delayed annual filing. Rockwell Automation’s stock rose 12.6% after posting better-than-expected profits for its fiscal first quarter. Western Digital gained 7.1% as analysts reaffirmed their overweight rating.

However, not all stocks fared well. ON Semiconductor’s shares tumbled 8.2% after the power chip manufacturer missed quarterly sales and profit estimates. Incyte’s adjusted profits fell short of expectations, leading to a 7.9% decline in its shares. Deckers Outdoor slipped 3.9%, despite Citi analysts upgrading its stock last week. The new trading week will bring more quarterly earnings reports, including Coca-Cola and McDonald’s, as well as the release of Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on Wednesday.
